Post Surgical

Physical therapy after surgery may include exercises to improve strength and mobility, manual therapy to improve joint mobility, and modalities such as heat or ice to help reduce pain and swelling. Physical therapists may also provide guidance on how to safely perform activities of daily living, avoid certain movements or positions that may be harmful to the surgical site, and prevent future injuries or complications. The goal of physical therapy after surgery is to help patients recover as much function and independence as possible, and to reduce the risk of future injuries or complications.
